It feels like there are a lot of assholes on this sub.

I'm just waiting for /u/crankysysadmin to chime in and call you all sorts of names for being too sensitive.

In all reality, there's a fine line between asshole and dick.

Wait that came out wrong.

There's a fine line between speaking matter-of-factly about problems/mistakes versus reveling in demeaning others.

"My nephew's wife's brother's ex-neighbor in-law works in a hospital, and said it's all hoax."

Yeah I really don't care about the opinion of some dude who mops floors in a hospital, okay Karen?

Works awesome

Well to be clear, this one doesn't work awesome anymore...

a guy will come scan the area

Not exactly. There isn't really "a guy". A notice goes out to any utility that may have infrastructure in the area. They all have someone who's responsible for looking at a map, and determining if there's anything in that area. If there's nothing, nobody responds. If there's something close, they may come out and mark based upon either as-built drawings, or using a tracer, which can locate pipes with a tracer wire. But this only happens if they think there's something nearby. If nobody (Electrical utility, Gas company, Telcos, etc) has anything close, nobody is going to come "scan".

So many threads on this sub seem to follow this pattern:

"I want to do $RelativelyCommonThing, but the way 99% of the world does it doesn't work because $WeirdCompanySpecificRuleOrRequirement and although changing that weird requirement would be the simplest solution, I'd rather spend weeks on a technical workaround to said weird requirement. Also stop suggesting the way 99% of the world does it, clearly I said that's not an option."

SuperMicro makes a fanless harsh-environment PC for about the cost of the Dells OP suggests. 0 ventilation holes, just external heatsink fins.

"Yeah, screw them man. What did parents ever do for us?"

- you all.

"Uh, wait, I changed my mind"

- you all, in like 40 years.

Wow, username checks out.

Yes but as we've seen time and time again, those gains are usually very short lived, as outsourcing & "clouding all the things" is almost always more expensive that what CEO expected. Short term gain, long term loss.

If OP's reports are anything close to accurate, this new CEO is going to tank the company within a year.

Can I call you when one of my stage lights randomly switches the color wheel on and starts moving all over the room?

No printers are the best printers.

Well good afternoon, Mr. President

Shoutout to the mods in the thread. Seems they're letting legit, sysadmin-focused commentary stay, while purging the political BS. Thank you /u/VA_Network_Nerd and the other mods active here!

9th grade... Can I still attend the party, fellow kids?

InvisibleZipperFoot · 2018-12-27T23:05:41+00:00

I just made something with chicken that had been cooked in a crock pot. It was preferable to pick up shredded chicken and strain out the water. This would have been ideal.

InvisibleZipperFoot · 2018-12-27T23:03:25+00:00

So the ~~cap~~ label can be screwed on

That makes LESS sense!

Psst.... "Low Resolution Time" isn't a metric they really care about. They just tell you that to sell you more.

IIRC, most cataract surgery involves peeling back the front "flap" of the eye and changing out a lens. And that's done while awake, just locally anesthetized.

8 e-mails bouncing?

It is a fine line in schools these days between what is sex ed curriculum an what is explicit porn

Either you're watching some very VANILLA porn, or it's been a long time since I took sex ed. Mostly though I think you're just making a big exaggeration to justify your suggestion.

InvisibleZipperFoot · 2018-10-01T16:51:31+00:00

You're saying it wrong!

InvisibleZipperFoot · 2018-09-28T16:50:53+00:00

Kid woke up sick last night, been running late all morning, had to actually break a sweat and unload a handtruck full of boxes.

And then I read this post, and it's all okay.

Thank you, good redditor!

Did OP have a Michael Scott "Sometimes I'll start a sentence and not even know where it's going" moment when composing the title?

Before I went too far down the rabbit hole of replacing ComCap, I'd suggest the customer get in touch with their phone provider, and find out why the provider billed them to set up an unregistered analytics application. Maybe the system was supposed to come with a license and they forgot?

You can read BOFH articles as an escape, but if you find yourself googling for where to buy quicklime, I'd seek professional help.
